Distillery Notes:

This exquisite single malt has been crafted from a combination of unpeated and peated spirit and four cask matured for at least twenty one years in bourbon barrels, sherry casks, virgin oak casks and Bordeaux red wine casks. During long maturation Benriach’s sweet Speyside smoke mellows and integrates with the fruit, malt and oak. After twenty one years, rich layering develops into an elegant honey smoke, enriched through multi-layered cask maturation. The whisky from each cask type, imbued with particular flavour characteristics, is then expertly married together to create a rich and elegant single malt, layered with lush orchard fruit and toasted pine wood with a honey smoke finish. All in perfect balance.

Awards/Reviews:

Double Gold - SF World Spirits Competition 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021

95 Points - Wine Enthusiast

"Look for a burnished gold hue and fresh apple aroma. The rounded palate beautifully mixes cinnamon spice, mild smoke and an herbaceous roots-and-bark complexity that suggests sarsaparilla."

94 Points - Intl Wine & Spirits Competition 2023

"Delicate and well rounded with a meaty nose of maple cured bacon that develops into a fruity and spicy explosion on the palate."

91 Points - Whisky Advocate

"Sweet and beguiling smokiness, with wild mint, vanilla bean, and chocolate-coated raspberries on a complex, vibrant nose. The mouthfeel is thick and flavorful, with warm notes of sweetened peat, red berries, and dark chocolate, followed by a long, velvety finish offering notes of orange tart, more chocolate, licorice, dark espresso, and a touch of wood-fired brisket. Lively, agreeable, and inviting—like the warm hearth of a mountain cabin at nightfall."
